In this paper we derive a Newton scoring algorithm for the maximum likelihood separation and directionof-arrival estimation of constant modulus (CM) signals, using a sensors array. We present a rapidly converging scheme for the joint estimation of the signals and their directions, based on their CM property. We discuss initialization and show that the complexity is moderate. 2

Let f(z) := ∑n ν=0 aνz ν be a polynomial of degree n having no zeros in the open unit disc, and suppose that max|z|=1 |f(z)| = 1. How small can max|z|=ρ |f(z)| be for any ρ ∈ [0 , 1)? This problem was considered and solved by Rivlin [4]. There are reasons to consider the same problem under the additional assumption that f ′(0) = 0. This was initiated by Govil [2] and followed up by the present ...

i.e., if every fER attains its maximum modulus on C. As a matter of convenience, we shall, in this paper, abbreviate "maximum modulus algebra on K" to "ilf-algebra." Examples of Af-algebras which come to mind immediately are (a) the algebra ft consisting of all functions which are continuous on K and analytic in U, (b) any subalgebra of ft, (c) any algebra (B which is equivalent to an algebra o...
